PLAYED FOR YOU

Tortenschlacht

Five pieces of chocolate cake

This card game comprises six sets of five cards each; in each set the cards are of the same color and show the same cake image. For a game you take one such set for each player, shuffle all cards together and thoroughly and deal all cards again to players, so that each player has five cards in hand. Cake plate and stamp are placed in the middle.

For a game turn, all players at the same time choose one of their cards from their hand and pass it on to their respective left neighbor. This needs to be done really simultaneously! This choosing of a card and passing it on is repeated until one player has managed to collect five cards of the same color. This player quickly places his hand on the cake plate. This stops play and all other players now place their hands, as quickly as the can, on top of the first hand, so that a stack of hands if formed. Whoever is last to place his hand on the stack, receives a stamp mark on his hand.

All cards are collected and well shuffled and dealt for a new round. Whoever collects his fifth stamp on his hand has lost the game and all those players who have the fewest stamps on their hands win together.

Well, it is nearly impossible to have more simple rules, and maybe you have two or more identical cards already at the start of round. Anyhow, it is not so important to be the one who ends the round, the important thing is to not be the slowest player whose hand is on top of the stack and is stamped. Tortenschlacht is a cute, fast game for in-between, you only need to pay attention that all players really first choose a card and hand it on before picking up their new card.
